IMPORTANT

The SBC 5100, SBC 5110, SBC 5200, and SBC 5210 platforms are no longer supported beginning with the SBC Core 10.0.0R0 release. This release supports SBC 5400/7000/SWe platforms. Contact Ribbon Sales for upgrade information.

Use this command to configure the gateway signaling port for a specified zone. For additional routing details, see Routing Mechanisms page.


GW signaling port limitations:

  • You must create the GW signaling port under the default address context and within the 'defaultSigZone.'
  • A GW signaling port must use an ID of "1".


Note

The  SBC 7000 system supports creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.

(This ability does not apply to the SBC 5400, which has only two physical media ports. You may configure the IP interfaces from the two physical ports within the same IP Interface Groups without restrictions.)

For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.

Command Syntax

For SBC 7000/SWe:

% set addressContext <addressContext_name> zone <zone_name> gwSigPort <#>
ipAddress <IPv4 or IPv6 address>
ipInterfaceGroupName <name>
mode <inService | outOfService>
portNumber <#>
role <primary | secondary>
state <disabled | enabled>


// Mandatory parameters:

ipInterfaceGroupName <name>
ipAddress <Ip Address>
 portNumber <#>

// Non-mandatory parameters:

mode <outOfService | inService>
role <primary | secondary>
state <disabled | enabled>

For I-SBC and D-SBC

% set addressContext <addressContext_name> zone <zone_name> gwSigPort <#>
ipInterfaceGroupName <name>
ipVar <IPv4 or IPv6 private IP address - I-SBC/D-SBC only>
mode <inService | outOfService>
portNumber <#>
role <primary | secondary>
state <disabled | enabled>

// Mandatory parameters:

ipInterfaceGroupName <name>


// Non-mandatory parameters:

ipVar <IPv4 or IPv6 private IP address - I-SBC/D-SBC only>
mode <inService | outOfService>
portNumber <#>
role <primary | secondary>
state <disabled | enabled>

Command Parameters

Zone Gateway Signaling Port Parameters


Parameter

Length/Range

Description

zone

1-23 characters

The name of the zone. For GW-to-GW calls, the zone must be “defaultSigZone”.

gwSigPort

1-2048

Gateway (GW) signaling port index number. For gateway signaling the value must be 1.

ipAddress – IP address of the gateway signaling listening port, either in IPv4 or IPv6 format.

An IPv4-mapped IPv6 address is not allowed.
  • ipInterfaceGroupName – Name of IP interface group used by the gateway signaling port.
  • ipVar – Metavariable name associated with the gateway signaling port IP address. The ipVar parameter is used to configure the gateway signaling IP address in SBC SWe N:1 HA or cloud-based deployments.
    Note: You can view this parameter only for cloud-based SBC SWe I-SBC and D-SBC deployments.
     
  • mode – The operational mode of the gateway signaling port.
    • inService (default)
    • outOfService
  • portNumber – TCP port number of gateway signaling port
      (default = 2569).
  • role – Role of the gateway signaling port.
    • primary – (default) Creates a port for gateway signaling traffic.
    • secondary – An alternate port used for listening only and cannot be used to establish new gateway signaling links.
  • state – Administrative state of gateway listening port.  
    • disabled (default)
    • enabled
     


CLI Examples

To configure the gateway signaling port on SBC 7000/SWe, execute the following commands:

% set addressContext default zone defaultSigZone gwSigPort 1 ipInterfaceGroupName LIF1 ipAddress 10.54.23.51 portNumber 1 role primary state enable


To configure gateway signaling on an I-SBC or D-SBC, execute the following commands:

set addressContext default zone defaultSigZone gwSigPort 1 ipVar IF2.IPV4 portNumber 2569 ipInterfaceGroupName LIG1 mode inService role primary state enabled
